Chinese Veg Momos

Momos is a kind of dumpling(cooked
ball of dough) very famous in chinese cuisine. It is also famous in Nepal,Tibet
and the himalayan part of India. It has
been quite a while since I have been wanting to try making momos at home.
Yesterday while browsing the net I thought of giving a search for veg
momos. After so many search I decided to try on my own style because it was that
easy receipe to try. You can also try meat filling,cheese filling and
snickers filling too for sweet momos.
